After starting pruning at a new vineyard (Surveyor Hill) today, I was
delighted to be serenaded by three Pied Butcherbirds. The recent COG
Annual Bird report lists this species as rare, non-breeding visitor.
The report (as I understand it) is a compilation of information and
records up till 30JUN14. Considering the amount of reports of this
species from the past ten months, usually from the west and north/west
of Canberra, it may be prudent to revise the status of this species in
the next COG Annual Bird report. I have seen one or two Pied
Butcherbirds regularly at another vineyard (Brindabella Hills) which
is only two kilometers away.
Uncommon, breeding resident may be more appropriate me thinks ?
